On November 10, 2015, Sergeant Brenda
Edington and Officers Michael Eldred and Thierno Diallo responded to a
suicide threat. A female student left several suicide notes for friends
which were then given to officers. One of the notes gave a very vague
description of where she could be found. Based on information gathered from
the notes and from several students, Officer Eldred searched the area where
he believed the subject may be found. Officer Eldred located the subject in
a small wooded area north of campus. The subject had consumed an unknown
amount of pills, cut both her wrists, and was having a difficult time
staying conscious. Sergeant Edington and Officer Diallo arrived and assisted
with providing field medical care. Terre Haute Fire Department medics
transported the subject to Union Hospital. Union Hospital later advised the
subject was in stable condition and will be transported to another facility
for psychiatric care.

On January 16, 2015, Sergeant Brenda Edington and Corporal Joshua Clifford
responded to a cardiac arrest on a 29 year old male. Sergeant Edington
performed CPR while Corporal Clifford deployed the AED. Lifesaving measures
were continued until Terre Haute Fire Department medics arrived and
transported the male to the hospital. The status of the male's condition was
checked on hours later and the hospital advised he had a pulse.

On March 31, 2016, Corporal Daniel Parmer was in route to a call at the
University Apartments. He was flagged down by multiple subjects at North 3rd
and Chestnut Streets. Corporal Parmer observed a woman sitting in the median
holding an infant female (approximately 4-6 months in age). The mother
advised that her infant's eyes rolled back and the infant stopped breathing
for a few seconds. The infant then began to take very shallow breaths.
Corporal Parmer observed that there was an object inside the infant's mouth.
The object was removed. The infant cried for a second and immediately became
quiet again. Corporal Parmer then observed another object inside the
infant's mouth obstructing her airway. The second object was removed and the
infant began to cry again. Terre Haute Fire Department medics transported
the mother and her infant to Union Hospital.

On October 1, 2016, Officers David Barber and Craig Wright were on motor
patrol. They noticed a large crowd gathering in the street. They observed a
female lying on the ground who appeared to have been struck by a vehicle.
She was bleeding from her head. A bystander was applying pressure to the
wound. Officer Wright advised him to continue to do so. Officer Wright could
not find a pulse on the female so he attempted the use of an AED. A
bystander, who happened to be a surgical nurse, assisted. She advised Wright
that she found a good pulse on the female, but did not like the sound of her
breathing. Officer Barber held the female's head in place to assist with
breathing. Medics arrived and transported the female to the hospital.

Campus Security Authorities (CSA)

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus
Crime Statistics Act (the "Clery Act"), requires college and
universities to compile and publish statistics on certain criminal
offenses that occur on or adjacent to university properties. The Clery
Act requires certain crimes reported to a Campus Security Authority
(CSA) be included in those annual statistics. Therefore, CSA's must be
identified and trained in their reporting responsibilities. Not properly
identifying and training these individuals can cause the university to
suffer significant fines and jeopardize Title IV funding.

Below are training documents for Campus Security Authorities:

Crime/Incident Form

When utilizing this form several points need to be
emphasized:

This form is intended for the
gathering of information regarding reported Clery crimes
only.It is in no way
meant to replace a police report.If you are advised that a crime occurred in one of
the areas listed on the form you should first ask the person
if the crime was reported to the police.If it has, you need not take further action.This form should only be completed if the incident
has not been reported to a law enforcement agency.

Attempt to be as specific as possible
when reporting the date, time and location of the crime.This is necessary to reduce the possibility of
“double reporting” crimes which may be reported to us from
multiple sources.

With regard to the location of the
crime, we are not only required to gather information
or incidents that
occur on campus and in residence halls, non-campus and off
campus facilities controlled by the University, such as
Greek houses, and public property adjoining the campus.This would include public streets and sidewalks that
border the campus.

Types of crimes to be reported – only
the more serious crimes need to be reported under the Clery
Act, these are listed on the form.If you have any doubt that the incident fits under
one of the crimes listed, briefly explain what happened in
the narrative space provided and send the form to Public
Safety.

Please complete the section pertaining
to “hate crimes”.For
purposes of the Clery Act, a hate crime would be committed
when the motive for any of the crimes listed on the form was
the victim’s race, gender, religion, sexual orientation,
ethnicity or disability.It is important to point out that the victim need not
actually be a member of one of these groups.The event would still be considered a hate crime if
the offender believed the victim was a member of a protected
class.

There is a space provided for the
victim to give his/her name and telephone number although
this is not required.
Under the Clery Act you should report Clery crimes even if
they are provided anonymously.In addition, we must also include hearsay information
in our statistics.If
you are given information by a student about a crime that
occurred to his/her roommate, for example, we must include
it.

One of the attached forms should be
submitted for each incident you report.All completed forms should be mailed to me.I will compile the information and report it as
required.Please feel
free to make as many copies of the blank form as you feel
you might need.
